Need advice - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

Hello everyone

This is my first time in this messageboard. I hope someone can help out here.

I have been having recurring images since I was a kid. I try very hard to suppress these images but I just get tired. They are not pleasent images. i.e. Beast is attacking, I am trying to fight the beast, I stop one, but there is another one there etc. which is endless. That is just an example. I am 34 years old now and I still get them. I was reading something else yesterday night and came across obsessive complusive disorder. I think I have that looking at everything that goes on in my life.

Should I go and see a psychiatry or a psychologist. This this the first time I am trying to get help for my problems. I would appreciate you help. Thank you.

I would go to talk with either a psychologist or psychiatrist. They may be able to help give you some idea of where these images could be coming from....did you have a very scary incident in your childhood? etc., and other links you might not have even considered relevant. It could be something as simple as feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day life.
